High-Speed Infrared Imaging of Metal Parts Fabrication by Additive Manufacturing

High-speed infrared imaging provides new insights for research on additive manufacturing. Fundamental research on heat transfers and monitoring of the printing process can benefit from high spatial, thermal and temporal resolutions. Here, you can view the manufacturing of a stainless steel metal part by direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), recorded with a Telops high-speed camera at 2800 frames per second.
